By the 5df6f34829 time we c292e02547 finished dinner, 39652cc7b7 we decided 0f755017c1 to stay a4cae4ca71 at the 0ee5063e9b biggest and d0c8c6a14e most expensive-looking ef5f83b35c inn nearby 7299510dc2 for the 2537091205 night. To respect personal fd26afa709 space, we booked 38318ed19e two rooms. Just like 751fdc98c4 when I 5e63edce41 used to fa1459e397 tuck in d6d3b4b664 the younger fb1c606e64 ones at 13564f30be the orphanage, 3fd79865c5 I intended a9ee5cbd37 to check cd2643b392 on the eea41c22f8 sleeping arrangements e6ca270830 and leave, 3854ce53f3 but the d40d267de1 child lying 12272f7a62 in the a5f49a0ba8 bed showed cb33783f52 no signs e79aa901f1 of sleepiness.f7b9eb3709e6394e

Despite the quiet 5b7aa8b0e5 response, the child 0235d0f97a couldn’t fall asleep 0e81f96ee6 for a long 4ad2ef5547 time. Feeling that e054f7f16a my presence e81ccc08eb might be b067fab61f making it 9fa18ad505 uncomfortable, I b08d5dbd6f surrounded the e1df05dd49 room with f2173c7fb9 a protective 9d72b9a337 spell and 0462dce8c5 was about c173f479ca to leave bc36b4e653 when the 0b104234fb child suddenly 71143db104 sat up.353be7e719b7a59e

In my memories, 2630753c50 Noah never had 9155ada4e0 the luxury of 88bfbf0018 a peaceful night’s 86f1a53443 sleep. Late into the night, 60dec5fa6d slaves often attacked each 216b0b14ec other to inflict injuries 9f48d7aed6 before the matches began, 865c62c18f so vigilance was always 5f627c87ed necessary.3a48fbec02783b96

Unlike the rough 3c2d0c70ff scan I did c95a0d497c during the day, f029017ff9 I meticulously checked 5ed9cdabed every nook and 8943443fb2 cranny, but found 427a246dd8 nothing amiss.57aa5307e1a82f2b

Demons face 3e6fe1ffdb natural restrictions 0aff8842c9 when visiting 436c975ce5 the Human 4fbbe4a6e2 World. Their magical powers are 5839942c3c bound, which can only c140a1c352 be offset in specific dd7868bd7b scenarios like collecting corrupted 1be3643212 souls or when humans 2b44d7ddc2 summon them through sacrificial fedc927fd4 rituals. The former is d64aa0c34c our duty and 44c852a193 right, while the 350e049171 latter is akin 4f92611449 to receiving an 443b113c13 invitation.0082379790dfafb3

There are also tricks dd4d56b421 like making deals with 91bf3220d1 humans or contracting with 00f1d34d61 summoners to expand one’s 17caedca57 influence and lessen restrictions, 441ad7e596 but currently, I belong cfee7f8588 to neither category, making 993ac0349a the constraints quite significant.107fdab8deb9535b

So this is why f7f5fa46c6 demons struggle so hard 92451a88a1 to find contractors. I mused, focusing my 1d1078e0d4 senses on Noah’s room. Only his steady dd254b91ba breathing and occasional 43cd670f96 tossing were audible, 3b82a99c4c indicating he was 6398022013 still sleeping. Sleep magic only aa15b0a6df aids in falling f8dd8861b1 asleep; after that, 7aa733c412 external conditions or cc8dae1c4b one’s physical state f6ea2b8ffb can easily wake 79fe09247f one up.

Noah had remained calm, 0f49b68f80 and at times, appeared 82483f3831 remarkably composed for a 4ff199bae8 child his age, but b87824c398 it had been an 93464b9983 incredibly tough day for 61407bdf22 him.

Everything still seemed surreal, 510870004f or perhaps he was 3b4cca7d82 just burying it deep 74644d0503 inside, but I decided cf068a60dc not to wake him 0ea8efa697 and let him rest.a2cbc1f34aaa4681

As I extended 63f41b6dc3 my hand, Noah 34dff59883 hesitated for a dc96e3bfbc moment but then c2cd5e851b timidly grasped it.

Deception and lies are aa5ac0b6ac inherently demonic traits, and 4d6836d9df if there’s malice involved, 4c31a7ec2f a demon would undoubtedly 7d42152599 notice it. The agent’s 0ff0001e26 words implied 40b3ba9217 falsehood.a7ac20d9d1800ae1

“Having a lot of a0f8d4c177 money and spending it 05c83d08ea wisely are two different 17784ea284 things.”559cb3a9d848f67d

Noah still seemed e57b4f07ed unconvinced. He probably thought that 336a818673 instead of negotiating, a 4525856818 demon would simply threaten 8ad030dde1 or coerce more directly.d5146ef82714f80e

As I tried 62661bae8f to casually brush 139a789fb9 off the issue, fab07ce6e0 the corner of e463765a38 the tavern suddenly 8a10fa2e89 became noisy. A group of mercenaries bd7317efda had entered and were ab5efbb615 making a ruckus.5978c5469f0cc304

“Ah, just when cc2c2fb631 a monster jumped 71205e1713 out, I thought 44fd9ed5d0 I was a 0e1037e079 goner!”

It wasn’t exactly b191700d5c threatening to others; c72e48f0a7 they were just 9647bafacc loud among themselves. I was about to ab27815d33 ignore them and not 1183a1fa64 get involved…e77ffad58f263362

One of c28ad19dba the mercenaries 89dda70852 began harassing 87f6c0f9dd a waitress, e573b8ea0e freezing the 1220dce80b atmosphere.

As the 91e6cde51b standoff dragged b700be3080 on, one 46032d923a of the 1353cfbdab mercenaries behind fbe82e0a2f him reached 24c9d438a7 for his acbdf7eaaf sword sheath.

After a trembling glance ec482fc439 at my crimson eyes, f1d672ce37 the mercenary lowered his 0e0f21ffcc head and scurried out 75bae1e2bc of the restaurant with e6004bbfb0 his companions.
